I have given up my Diet Mountain Dew (a daily habit until a few weeks ago.) I also had to give up spicy foods, as well as late night snacking. 🤷‍♀️ I am currently doing a ten week plan, which includes 4 healthy smoothies and a balanced supper each day.

I am a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. I have been dealing with some significant health challenges recently, and have been advised to make some major life changes. I have given up my Diet Mountain Dew (a daily habit until a few weeks ago.) I also had to give up spicy foods, as well as late night snacking. 🤷‍♀️ I am currently doing a ten week plan, which includes 4 healthy smoothies and a balanced supper each day. (No additional snacks.) I have totally changed how I plan, grocery shop and cook, as I work to return my body to health. Looking to find others interested in holding each other accountable and supporting each other on our journeys. Friend me if you are looking for an accountability partner. 😊

    The flowers and blossoms are filling the air with the smells of Spring. This is the time to start preparing for the Summer. Are you ready to join a Challenge? The Biggest Loser Challenge is looking for members for it’s next Challenge starting the first week of June. The challenge consists of 11 Teams, that participate in 10 weeks of Nutritional and Fitness Challenges. These challenges can be modified to fit individual needs, allowing members of all abilities and dietary needs to participate.

    Here are some of the members comments written on a Survey Monkey poll:

    “It helps me stay focused on my goals. It also keeps things interesting and not boring.”

    “I find that the challenges make me be more cognizant of my food intake, better choices etc. The fitness ones encourage me to try new exercises and to keep doing exercises. I think there is a good possibility I wouldnt do as much if I didnt track it for challenges or tried to do better on challenges”

    “My leaders are all wonderful...they stay in touch with team members and do their best to keep us involved and feeling a part of the team.”

    “They motivate me to eat healthier and to be more active. “

    If you would like to be a member of this challenge you can copy and paste the the link below, or click on my username and leave me a message or click on the BLUE BIGGEST LOSER Icon on my page. Join the team and sign up for the next challenge on the Spring Waitlist thread.

    Hi. I just read your comment on someone else's page about having FOUR GIRLS and no boys.
    That made me smile because my mom came from a family of 7 boys and 2 girls. When she had kids she had wanted allllll boys!
    Guess what she got instead!
    FIVE GIRLS!
    HAR HAR HAR HAR. LOVE it.

    Lucky for her, she got a gob of grandsons before having a gob of granddaughters. She has 26 grandkids and 13 greats and one on the way. so far.... wink.

    I had a pretty good day. Good sugars all day and ending the evening with a couple hundred unused calories. The sugar levels and calories tell me I made good food choices today. Wish i could do that every day ;-)
